Slip and Slide

There is a lot of satisfaction in doing things all by one's self, from scratch. Now that life has become an endless succession of suits, installation of software, games, defragmenting hard drives provides one with immense satisfaction. Today has been particularly bittersweet. First it went horrible, really horrible. Then suddenly, things started moving and in the early afternoon after a successful project launch, breathing was easy again. Then again, my heart stopped on the realisation that my approach was absolutely wrong and that I would have to begin again. Then, things went downhill and seemed to crash and just when all hope was lost, suddenly things started looking up again and it poured, and then some! I can still feel the glow and suddenly life seems bearable once again. Why is life such a roller coaster?
